Ofc both variables must have the same name :)

So use $item instead of $path in the first line.

Öh. Ctrl + p is probably faster than typing that out^^

ctrl+p just copies the name, not the folder itself.

for the folder name only:

CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + p

The path has a trailing backslash (if that matters).

Or in cases when a mouse happens to be around, Ctrl-right-click the items.

All of the later posters should read the OP's request again: "Copy the FOLDER to clipboard (not the path of it)"

And shouldn't this work as well for the currently selected item?

copy <curitem>

You're right, Ralph.

But:
And shouldn't this work as well for the currently selected item?
If it isn't specific any more, why not just use Ctrl + c (if it's about a selected item)?

True as well, so let the OP decide which tip was the most useful...

asked for a scriptable way.

Which might have been due to the lack of knowing any easier ways.
Anyway I still believe it's the OP's choice now!
